Ryan, followed your thread with interest. Great paint job and weathering. Top notch! Any stowage planned?

Cheers!

Ryan,

Excellent build!

One thing, though, is that every M2 .50 cal HMG I've ever seen or fired had dark grips and charging handles, either from dark-stained wood or a dark type of plastic (image from Prime Portal):





But this a minor point in an otherwise EXCELLENT model.

Thanks Jeff, can't argue with a picture....I'll remember this for the next .50 cal.
I pictured a clear coated wood grip in my head and convinced myself it was right, your pic sets me straight.
